History

Youth

Miranda is the daughter of a wealthy middle class Kuat family. She had everything she could have wanted, which would lead her to being a materialistic little brat, always wanting something. It didn't help matters much when her parents were hardly around and most of her older siblings were to busy them selves to play with her. It was one of those cases where you have everything and all these people around you but still being alone. Being the youngest of the family she wasn't entitled to much of the families holdings or businesses. But was expected to either marry into another family of equal standing or higher, or to become a successful business woman on her own accord.

Her schooling and the Pre-Imperial Academy would temper her down a lot. Despite her family put her through a military school, she wasn't suppose to enlist, she did anyway to spite them.

Early Career

Thanks to some meddling from her father, Miranda was given a desk job in Intelligence, where she steadily rose in the ranks, despite the Empires view towards women at the time. Her family may have thought they were saving her from the coming civil war, they were wrong. Because of her job she knew first hand what the Empire was really like. She soon took pity on the rebels which soon turned to admiration when, despite the odds, they fought against the Empire with a sense of greater purpose.

Miranda, knowing the system as well as even her top bosses, managed to leak information to the Alliance. Nothing that would change the tide of the war, but info that would help resupply them or locations of lightly protected imperial weapon depots. Apparently she wasn't the only one that was helping them. She learned that her two sisters were supporters which, to the empire, meant her entire family were supporters. She knew they would come after her and the rest of her family. She managed to warn her sisters, who got away, but the rest of her family were rounded up. She would have been taken about the same time but she made a clean get away.

Before she did though she unfroze her families assets, then quickly transferred them to a number of dummy accounts, which then transferred them to others and so on. It would be a while but she would get those credits back. She never knew what happened to her family that the empire captured, and she would never find out. Her sisters on the other hand joined the Alliance. Miranda didn't think she would be so welcomed so she found another line of work as a crew member on the Red Dragon.

Crew of the Red dragon

Miranda's time on the Red Dragon was enlightening. The so called "facts" of imperial intel was black and white. You supported the empire or you didn't. The huge array of "grays" in the galaxy nearly overwhelmed her. She learned so much about all the people of the galaxy during this time. She also fell in love with Captain Slade but due to her inexperience with love and Slade's actions with other women, she didn't know what to do.

It was this reason that she would leave the crew. She didn't get mad at him for being with all those women, she just got jealous and envied them over how it seemed so natural and easy to show their feelings for him. She just couldn't continue to see him with other women like that. Another reason she would leave was that her families money was soon going to reach the final account and she didn't really know exactly what she planned to do with it.

Mercenary

Miranda would go on to form her own merc group, which ended up becoming fairly well known and much larger then Slade's little band. She named the group Providence, for they will guide the galaxy to a greater purpose. The jobs she would take were ones such as planetary defense, convoy protection and others of the like. But only for those who couldn't do it them selves. She would often leave a job after teaching those people to defend them selves. Doing this she felt like she brought a little more stability to the galaxy.

Providence would come to a untimely end when Miranda learned that one of the planets she helped was brutally attacked by a pirate band that Providence crossed paths with. They did it to prove a point, that then on they would prove Providence wrong and sully their name by attacking everyone and everything they left. Miranda disbanded Providence shortly afterward, it was barely braking even and with these pirate now targeting people whose contracts have ended... Providence just wasn't large enough and couldn't grow any larger with out a larger income.

New Republic Career

When she was finished selling or mothballing Providence's ships, vehicles and other equipment she joined the New Republic Navy. Because of her background, experiences and lack of seasoned personal, Miranda was given a shortened version of the NR's Naval Academy then given command of a ship. She commanded her ship expertly up to and through the loss of Coruscant, the battle of Corellia where the 3rd Death star was destroyed. During the Xen'chi war her ship suffered crippling damage mid way through the war, but despite this her and her crew remained in battle securing an escape route for civilians. Despite the fact that she had to scuttle the ship afterward her and her crew were awarded a medal for their actions. Miranda was also given a promotion.

It wasn't till the end of the war when Miranda and her crew were given a brand new Defender-class Star Destroyer. By the time they finished training and the ship's shake down the war was over. Fore a while she was put on clean up operations, her ship largely operating on its own due to the lack of ships in the Republic. That is when she went to the admiralty with the idea to hire independent ships and crews as well as recommission mothballed ships into a fleet to help ease the strain on the rest of the navy.

The details were worked out and she was given permission and a budget to get the project under way. She first contacted every one from her days on the Red Dragon and in Providence. Those she trusted greatly and were dearest friends. They made up the core of her command and together they acquired a few outdated cruisers and destroyers. These ships would mostly be crewed with Ex-Providence members. Then they set out to hire independent crews and ships to flesh out the fleet. This fleet was soon nick named the Renegade Fleet due to the people its made up with.

Current

Currently Miranda still carries a flame for Slade but in their chance crossing of paths they were to busy with other matters for her to really express her feelings. But over the years she has become more and more determined to get his attention, but then he just disappeared, ship and all. She feared the worst till a year of so later when word of the Red Dragon was up to its old tricks again.
